THE C LOG.
Ryan, Alleged Misbrander Of Cattle,
Acquitted.

Mark Ryan was arrested several months
ago and since confined in the county Jail,
held to answer the charge of misbranding
cattle. He was promptly acquitted yes
terday, but will be held by authority of
an indictment charging him with slaugn-
terlng cattle not his OWN. Some of the
testimony of tho prosecution was quite
extraordinary, exposing the methods of
the stock detectives. In this case the
offender was induced to commit a INSIDE
meanor by an officer. Judge Maginnis
remarked this, and contemplates calling
the attention of the grand jury to at least
one of the inspectors. The matter will
be fully ventilated by THE LEADER at
some future time.
A nolle prosequi was entered in the case
of John Duncan, charged with illegally
branding a maverick.
Lavelle and Huffman, indicted for the
same offense as Ryan, were arraigned and
pleaded.
In the evening testimony was heard in
the divorce case of Magdelena VS.. Henry
U. Arp. There was a good attendance,
and some of the testimony was of the
character termed rich, rare and racy.
1t was continued until Monday evening.
The Patterson case is set for Monday
and the trial of the Fort Laramie quar-.
tette charged with the murder of Richard

Washington special; A remarkable
coincidence happened yesterday morning
at the death of Miss A. w. Duffy, q
daughter of Captain o. D. Duffy, the
patent attorney. Miss Duffy had laid in
a dying condition for several days, being
surrounded by the members of her
immediate family. She was conscious
to the last and talked calmly with those
about her until q moment or two before
the end. The watcher had scarcely
made the announcement that she was
dead when a servant from below entered
the room in answer to the summons of
the call bell. No one had rung and the
popularity of the circumstances was in
the fact that all of the six bells placed in
the dining-room and communicating
with the different rooms of the house had
rung violently at the instant when the
death took place, and the bells, with one
exception, had not rung since Mr.. Duffy
novel to his present home, wires con-
Meeting them being broken The affair
ceated q feeling of awe over the house
hold as no explanation of the mystery
has been made.

The CanadIan Pacina Rur,ed


New York, Feb. 1S-The Tribnne's
Montreal special says: The Canadian
PacItio railway has been completely
biockaded with snow for the past three
weeks. 1T has been impossible to obtain
exact information in regard to the sx-
tent, for every one connected with the
management preserves thu closest
reticence, but SO far az tan be learned
from careful inquiry the blockade is
practically complete. The road west of
Winnipeg has be,n blockaded for
twenty-three days and especially in
Selklrk and west of Colgarry. The
snow sheds there have failed
to afford protection in consequences
Of heavy land slides which
have demolished them in several places.
The portion of the land running through
Frazer river valley is blocked by snow
and rocky land slides. For some time
Frazer river has been frozen up at the
mouth SO that vessels could not reach
Vancouver Island. To add to the diff
~oulties the company's supply OF coal at
many points has been exhausted apd
the blockade prevents the stock being
|~replenished, and it is reported that q
large number Of dead" engines have
been abandoned in Sslkirk range and on
bsth sides of il. It is believed to be
doubtful il the road will be able to run
trains regularly much befoie the fret of
May. 1t appears that the whole line
vert OF Winnipeg. and perhaps from
that place east TO Port Arthur, on Lake
Supsrior, is blocked with gnow.

crowd in front of the house extended in
a line Six abreast from the main door
way through the grounds out at the
west gate and east along Pennsylvania
avenue. as far Fifteenth street, a distance
equal to more than three city blocks.
Constant .aocessions were received from
all directions and the line became so
dense that several ladies tainted and had
to be taken away. When the doors were
finally opened those who entered first
had been standing on the white-house
porch for at least two hours. After pay
ing their respects to Mrs. Cleveland
and the ladies who assisted her-Miss
Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, Miss Endicott
and Miss Lamar-the people fingered
to admire the beautiful decora-
tions of the parlors and as a conce-

close the doors at exactly 5 O'Clock and
turn away many hundreds OF ladies who
had taken their places at the end of the
